Audioengine A2+ 2.0 Desktop Speaker Review

We have reviewed the Audioengine D3 DAC some time back and we came back impressed by the tiny dimensions, excellent build quality and good sound quality. So when the Audioengine A2+ also came for review I was more than a little excited to run them through their paces.

The Audioengine A2+ is not a completely new product perse and it’s largely based on their earlier Audioengine A2 which was already a fantastic product. So how do you improve on an already outstanding product without taking the pricing to a new level?. One way was to add more features to the product. So Audioengine added a DAC to the Audioengine A2 and made a few sonic tweaks too and the resulting product is the Audioengine A2+.

Now the Audioengine A2 is discontinued but it’s still available online for sale in a few places. So in case you already own a decent DAC and hence don’t require the services of the built-in DAC you might be able to score an Audioengine A2. The Audioengine A2 shaves off $50 on the price of the A2+, but is the inbuilt DAC of the A2+ is worth that $50 price difference if you lack a good DAC already. The Audioengine A2+ are available in black and while color options just like the earlier A2.
